The state of Virginia requires a new resident to obtain a VA driver's license within 60 days of moving to the state. To find out what the penalty and fines will be you will need to contact the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles since it is likely to depend on how many days or months you have gone without complying with this law. In Virginia, speeding in excess of 15 to 19 mph over the posted speed limit is a 4 point traffic violation. You should check with the entity listed on your speeding citation or district court for the area in which you received the ticket to determine what the fine will be since it appears speeding fines can differ depending the VA jurisdiction in which the ticket was received. Typically in Virginia there is a set amount for each mile over the speed limit you were going. That amount appears to be anywhere from $3 to $7. So if in your area the set amount is $5 you would owe 18 times 5 for a total of $90 plus court costs. Some traffic tickets can be paid online at www.courts.state.va.us.
